Mia Ousley is First Choice for City Council, District 5

The race for San Leandro City Council District 5 features three middle-age women with a lot of enthusiasm for the community and city politics.  Mia Ousley, the co-founder of the Coalition to Save San Leandro Hospital, will be facing San Leandro School Board trustee Corina Lopez and Durant Avenue Task Force co-leader Leah Hall. They will be elected through ranked choice voting.  In San Leandro, all voters are able to vote for all City Council and School Board seats. These are my recommendations for Council District 5: First Choice: Mia Ousley Second Choice: Corina Lopez Third Choice: Leah Hall Mia Ousley [Continue Reading]

Oakland: Annie Campbell Washington and Desley Brooks for City Council

I have already written about my endorsement of Dan Siegel for Mayor of Oakland. I am making no endorsements in the Oakland City Council District 2 race. I was a strong supporter of Abel Guillen when he ran for State Assembly, and I still have a lot of respect for him. However, I am very concerned that he put political considerations before principle and did not speak out against the Domain Awareness Center. For that reason, I cannot endorse him. I had a long and very productive conversation with Dana King. I found her to be an intelligent, prepared, caring woman who [Continue Reading]

Alameda: Trish Spencer for Mayor & Jim Oddie for City Council

Mayor: Trish Spencer I met Trish when she ran for re-election to the Alameda School Board.  At the time, I spoke with her at length about her ideas on education and social justice, community building and political philosophy.  I even watched several Alameda School Board meetings to see her in action.  I was incredibly impressed.  Trish, a lawyer by training, is a careful thinker.  She has an analytical mind, is able to see the consequences of policies much more broadly than her colleagues, and is firmly committed to everyone in her community.  In addition, she is committed to civil liberties [Continue Reading]
